Yes I know there has been a lot of these, but while searching the pages I didn't find my answer.  So here goes:  Who shoots this ammo out of a 20" A2 setup(1x7) with iron sights?  And what are your sight adjustments (i.e do the elevation wheel clicks move the round further or less, same with the windage?)  Also does anyone shoot 69 gr Black Hills out of the same?  What are those adjustments.  Also if any one shoots these rounds out of a 14.5" 1x9 twist, could you give me the info requested.  I know this is a question that maybe few can answer, but at least I tried.   And if productive replies come of this, I will compile this into a list.  Thanks.

I do, I live 400 meters from an army post.  I make my own M-262 clones using 77 grain Sierra's driven by TAC.  I also make a similiar load using Hornady 75 grain pills.  From my HBAR it will drive both into sub 1 inch groups at 100 meters from a sandbag.  At a service rifle match I possibled the 100 and did well on the whole match.  I fire this at the 1000 meter gong and have gotten some hits but my Morrison Precision Savage in 7.62 does better at that range.  600 meters with an HBAR will knock your socks off.

I went and bought 500 77 gr SMK's and some 69 gr SMK's as well.  So does the heavier bullet make much of a difference when you set the elevation wheel to 200/300/400/500/etc?

Yes, two clicks difference at all ranges.  My absolute surprise was that the Hornady AMAX that area long bullet for single shot has the same coefficiant at 600 that the regular 75s have at 400.  What a flat shooting load but single shot only.

Just to clarify it would be 8/3 + 2 at 300 yds? You wouldn't happen to know anything about the 69 gr loads would you?
